The Crookston Music Trip Parents Organization has announced the postponement of the Crookston High School music trip to Florida, scheduled for late March of 2021, has been postponed to the summer.
The decision was made after the group talked with Bergan Travel and Disney. “We reached out to Bergan Travel and asked their thoughts on what we should do and they contacted Disney and said they strongly encouraged us to postpone,” said CMTP Board President Chris Fee. “Usually by this time we have everything booked and ready to go, but this year we haven’t been able to book the plane, hotels, or anything because of COVID-19 and the lack of people taking reservations with so many unknowns.”
Fee said the unlikelihood of going in March was also a deciding factor. “In all honesty, it doesn’t look like we would be going in March no matter what because of COVID,” said Fee. “This will buy us more time to hopefully be able to go.”
The group is looking at a mid-June to late June date now and with not being able to hold large meetings, it has caused problems for the group to reach out to the affected families for their thoughts. “It has been difficult because normally we would have a parent meeting to include the parents and kids in the decision and get their input,” said Fee. “Everything has been different and difficult since March and we are hoping we will be able to go this summer. The decision will be up to the group, the parents and kids, and the final say lies with the school board and administration.”
